2.0 out of 5 stars Subdued performances, September 15, 2006

This review is from: Raised on Rock / For Ol Times Sake (Ja) (Audio CD)

All the performances on here are pretty subdued; it seems that Elvis never really cuts loose a la "Burning Love" or "Promised Land" which is disappointing. While the title track "Raised on Rock" is ok, it leaves you wishing they had pumped it up a notch or two. That song seemed like it was tailor made to be an Elvis rocker, but they didn't let the guitars and drums really go and as a consequence Elvis never really takes off on the song. That seems to be the case for the entire album. "Three Corn Patches" a country / blues song is the only song I found really interesting. Overall, I was expecting more from this album but was disappointed.

Maybe "Raised on Rock" should be the next Elvis remix candidate. If they would pump-up the guitars and bass on that song, it might really rock.
